higher standard in san francisco. it's with great pleasure i get to introduce this gentleman (clapping) >> thank you very much. all of you. when i was asked to do this project i had to always think of my own inaccurate door neighbor that was the first high-rise in san francisco that broke the rectangle of shapes that did hug the streets. i choose to do that when i think of san francisco i think p of the city on the bay where shapes used to come and still come from

all over the world where people sale but it's difficult to do a design for the next generation of a building and that's what i tried to do here because there were some features that made infinity successful the curvature panoramic views along the sweeping kufrz of the neighborhood. that was more romantic picturesque and had formed. in looking at this design we sought to capitalize on those things but still do something that was different. but this building a new one we've designed is instead a series of glass place of

residence that are rotating about the building and as they climb to the top they reach the top to create a crown while the base is a creative rectangle. at the same time each time this creates a corner view that looks out to the skyline and bay of the city. it's important to see where those two towers sit. first their shifted so they don't face each other. there are soft shapes that actually avoid each other and create a large distance between

the towers. they sit on a green roof a new park in the sky that creates a setting that looks down to the park. this poumd that holds this park is surround by additional units that are the more urban units that follow the guy try of the downtown area. and in the center of this new garden there's a multiple level clubhouse imagine around the vertical spice where there's a swooim pool and it's surrounding it and around it are a series of amenity spaces for the resident. light filters from the top of

this garden so it creates a heart of the edge of the residential but still faces the street. so ex-what is it it distinguishes the building. it translates into lots of lights inside the unit. we know that light is a sustainable design. this will allow the buildings p to be light filed and open up the views of san francisco. it is this that makes the name lumina. thank you very much >> thank you. now mayor lee and sherman and the other
